CD/DVD REVIEW: The Prodigy - Live World's On Fire (Sheer Music)

The first time I ever saw electronic punks The Prodigy live was way back in 19-voertsek in the Bellville Velodrome in Cape Town. They were the main act of the evening and were supported by the likes of the Kalahari Surfers (who got booed off stage) and Faithless (then still starting out). When The Prodigy finaly came on stage, all hell broke loose. It was heavy bass beats, lights and Liam, Keith, and Maxim giving us the biggest time of our lives - ever! Fast forward to 24 June 2010 where 65 000 (crazy) people crammed into The National Bowl at Milton Keynes to see the electronic punks perform some of their best hits and some new ones. The band sure knows how to excite the crowd, consistently asking if the throng is ready for what’s to follow; and those in attendance respond positively, willing to take whatever is thrown at them.The band’s Warriors Dance Festival is now captured on DVD & CD for us poor plebs, that could not be at the show, to relive the brilliant noise and dance tunes of The Prodigy. You're ears will hurt after watching this, but it's bloody brilliant!

Britney Spears is poking fun at all the rumours about her and taking a whack at the paparazzi in her latest music video for her hot new up-beat club-infused single, I Wanna Go. The video opens with Britney at a press conference being asked stupid questions by journalist. "Is it true you banned junk food, smiles, candy, sunshine and laughter from your Femme Fatale Tour?" The answer: Yes, obviously. "Can you confirm reports that you're pregnant with Brad Pitt's love child?" The answer: "That is false: It's quintuplets." The Britney goes all bad-ass and says “F*** you. F*** you. F*** you,” while pointing at specific journalists. The only person who passes the test is Weeds and Half Baked star Guillermo Diaz, who is hanging out, wearing a crown/hat. Britsers then dashes out onto the streets in her Avril Lavigne-worthy, pop-punk princess finest. It seems Britney has decided to live life on her own terms. She grabs the bum of an autograph-seeking f…

Four things stand out on Linkin Park's fifth CD, Living
Things: earnestly rapped verses, swirling keyboards, soaring chorus, pummelling
hardcore outro. Listening to the 12 track CD is like listening to their
nu-metal roots, as heard on their Hybrid Theory and Meteora CDs. Some would
argue that Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda and the rest of the lads are stuck
in old school nu-metal groove, but that is not always a bad thing. The album as
a whole continues to expand their world-view writing like what listeners got
with ‘A Thousand Suns,’ but it also adds more of the anger that was prevalent
in their earliest work, ‘Hybrid Theory.’
A Thousand Suns marked an unlikely metamorphosis from blockbusting nu
metal to left-field, electronic, political pop. Living Things is more personal
than A Thousand Suns, with underlying themes of recovery from traumatic
experiences. The exception, Burn It Down, delivers an antiwar sentiment via
Depeche Mode-y electro-bounce - a brilliant track! Living…
